Chapter 177: Gifts
The eight-year war was finally over, and when the news came, Kangxi was listening to Shuyun tell the interesting stories of the buns in the kindergarten with a smile in Xiangxuehai. Although he had already made a bamboo in his chest, Kangxi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he closed his eyes, clenched his fists and said nothing.
After a long time, Kangxi suddenly opened his eyes, and a fierce light came out of it.
"I've won." The three sonorous and powerful characters show an incomparable self-confidence, and a kind of momentum that looks at the world also erupts.
The news of the victory made the court up and down, and the capital was immersed in joy.
Xiang Xuehai's happiest people are the two old men Xu and Lu who are in the medical school, because the war is over, Xu Ziqing, Lu Ping, and Lu An, who have been in the front with the army, will also come.
There are a lot of things that have happened in the twenty years of Kangxi. After Kangxi rewarded the meritorious soldiers of the Ping San Domain. Immediately after December 20, in a festive atmosphere, Kangxi also promoted a harem concubine.
The leader is Tong Jia's family, who has been promoted from a noble concubine to an imperial concubine, this grade is extremely high, there is only one in the entire Qing Dynasty harem, and it is only one step away from the queen.
Wen Xi Niu Cobalt Lu was promoted to a noble concubine. Hui, Yi, De, and Rong, the four concubines who had princes were all promoted to concubines. The other concubines are also, or promoted, or rewarded, basically everyone is not disappointed, and everyone is happy.
Shuyun is not included among those who have been promoted, but the reward is not old or young.
The official statement given by Kangxi is: Because Shuyun has only been promoted to a concubine for a year, it is not good to be promoted again so soon.
This can only fool those ignorant girls, and even a slightly shrewd ghost can't fool them.
There can only be one imperial concubine. has been given to Tong Jia's by your Lao Kang, how can you be promoted if you just want to promote me? Can you still crown me as the queen? Explanation of Lao Kang. Shuyun pouted disdainfully.
In fact, Lao Kang's mind Shuyun can guess, it is nothing more than for balance. This is also Kangxi's usual method.
Now among all the women in his harem, Shuyun has the most children raised under his knees. Moreover, Wen Xi and Shuyun are nominally from the Niu Co Lu clan. If Shuyun is promoted to the imperial concubine, or a higher queen, then the balance of the harem will be broken all of a sudden, and it will become the dominance of the Niu Colu family. In this case, what will other powerful families think? Where is the prince still located?
Besides, Shuyun's actual identity is there, and the possibility of being promoted to the queen is basically equal to zero, even if it is the imperial concubine, it is very difficult. Kangxi is not Shunzhi, and some things will be left to his liking. His principle of dealing with things is to always put the country and the great cause in the first place. In his eyes, the heavenly family is selfless.
Besides, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and it is difficult to guarantee that Shuyun's life experience will not be exposed for a day, and once this thing is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If Shuyun is a noble concubine, although the grade is a little higher, but with Kangxi Town, and the buns by her side, everyone is unlikely to please that person. Hold on to it. Because in that case, it will not only make Kangxi unhappy, but also provoke the hostility of the four princes. So people with a little bit of brains won't do this, but they may sell Kangxi and Shuyun a favor.
But Shuyun is an imperial concubine or a queen. That's different. Such a position is also destined to create more enemies. The harem and the court are inseparable, which involves the interests of all parties. In order to pull himself off the horse, it is difficult to ensure that no one will jump out of the ring to fight with Kangxi when he falls. What is the main family law. The rules and righteousness swing to that one. Not only will Kangxi not be pleased, but Shuyun's situation will also become very dangerous.
The courtiers and nobles may let Kangxi go. But he couldn't spare Shuyun. And Shuyun doesn't really have the strength to speak for herself with the same heart. As for those craftsmen, doctors and so on, when faced with this situation. Not even fart.
Shuyun can guess with her eyes closed: what kind of flattering lord is confused, deliberately deceiving his life experience, and a series of big hats, he will be deducted on his head by the courtiers as if he didn't want money. At that time, it will be difficult to argue if you have a mouth. And in such a situation where it is difficult to protect himself, whether Kangxi will stand up to defend himself and clarify for himself, Shuyun has no bottom in her heart.
So honestly being her own concubine, Shuyun thinks it's good. Besides, if it weren't for the future of the buns, it would be more convenient to implement their own plans. Shuyun won't be rare for any concubines or not concubines. Anyway, he doesn't live in the palace, and there is no need to be restricted by various uses and etiquette, and the level of grade has little impact on him.
Therefore, Shuyun didn't care too much about not being promoted to her own position.
Now Shuyun is completely relaxed. In the kindergarten, Gu Badai and others watched, it turned out that by Shuyun's side, the four palace maids led by the little palace maid Orange were also trained by Shuyun, plus the big palace maid Mingxiang, who taught in the school and accumulated rich experience. were all sent to the kindergarten by Shuyun to be responsible for the daily life of the dolls.
To Shuyun's relief, after a period of running-in, all the dolls, including the naughty buns, have adapted to kindergarten life. The dolls have grown more or less in all aspects. made a bunch of relatives and nobles happy. Now these little ones have liked to go to kindergarten, and they can't go to school if they don't let them go, and whenever they go home on vacation, they can't stay long and clamoring to come back. A lot of relatives and nobles who got the news and wanted to get close to Shuyun came to the door one after another, asking for their naughty buns to be sent as well.
For a while, Shuyun's head was very upset, agree, there are not so many places, and if you don't agree, you will offend people. Besides, you can't take everyone in, who knows what the purpose of these people is. And this kind of thing also has to be agreed by Kangxi, or a big hat to make friends with the ministers will be buttoned down, and it will be enough for Shuyun to drink a pot. Shuyun simply asked them to go to Kangxi and give Kangxi a headache.
rewarded the heroes, rewarded the concubines, and then the Chinese New Year, Kangxi has not appeared in Xiangxuehai for almost two months. Shuyun estimated that the reason why he didn't come for so long, in addition to being busy, must be afraid that he would trouble him because he didn't get promoted, so he wanted to dry Shuyun first.
When I saw Kangxi again, it was already after the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-first year of Kangxi (1682 AD).
Seeing Kangxi with his hands behind his back, pretending to be majestic, Shuyun knew that this guy was empty-hearted. This majesty is nothing more than a cover-up, and whenever he is weak or embarrassed, he looks dead.
Shuyun ignored him and let him misunderstand. Save him from thinking that he is good at talking, and then get used to making mistakes.
"Uh-huh." Kangxi looked at Shuyun who was sitting on the sofa and deliberately pretended not to see him, and coughed.
Shuyun raised her head, pretended to be surprised and glanced at Kangxi, and then hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Just you and me, the concubine doesn't have to be like this." Kangxi stepped forward quickly and hugged Shuyun.
Look at what this says, as blunt as you want. Lao Kang had never been so polite to himself before.
Shuyun didn't bother to act with him anymore. He nodded happily.
This stunned Kangxi. He touched his nose wryly. Then he handed a rosewood box in his hand to Shuyun.
"Shuyun, see if you like it or not, this is what I specially collected for you." Kangxi smiled, looking a little flattering.
Shuyun took it and glanced at Kangxi again. I decided to give him a face, so I opened it on the spot and watched it.
I saw a one-foot-square purple-red box full of all kinds of huge gems. It is more than one grade better than what was given a few days ago. And each of them is a boutique.
Among them, there is one ruby that is extremely eye-catching, definitely no smaller than the largest ruby in the world: the 23.1-carat Carmen Lucia, which Shuyun picked up and shone into the sun, and it turned out to be flawless.
There is also a Maitreya Buddha pendant carved from the glass of the old pit, which is commonly known as emerald. Its texture is delicate, pure and flawless, uniform emerald green, pure, bright and intense. Shuyun liked it at first sight.
Kangxi watched Shuyun holding the jade jade Buddha and kept watching. A little surprised, he said: "I didn't expect you to like this worthless thing, I just look at this thing with bright colors, it's very good-looking, and the carving is good." As the saying goes, "Nandai Guanyin female Dai Buddha" can just bless you. That's why I added it. If you really like it, I have many more there, and tomorrow I will order someone to bring them to you. ”
Not worth anything? Now it was Shuyun's turn to be surprised. How can a main mother be worthless? Is it that you are ignorant and backward? Or is this world changing too fast?
But give it all to me? That's a good thing. I didn't expect Lao Kang to have such a cute time and get rich. It's really a closed house, and wealth comes from heaven! Shuyun thought to herself.
I just don't know how much Lao Kang still has in his hands? Hopefully there will be a lot.
Inevitably having a long night, Shuyun hurriedly nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I like it very much, why don't you let someone take it for me now." ”
Seeing that Shuyun was so eager, Comrade Lao Kang was different again. Suspiciously, he looked at Shuyun, whose face was full of longing, and his eyes were shining with sparkling light, and then looked at the smiling emerald jade Buddha in Shuyun's hand. Lao Kang was entangled.
~Did you do something stupid? This thing is beautiful, but as far as I know, it's really not worth much. How could this woman be fascinated like this? Her eyes have always been very tricky, and everything that she looks at is the most difficult thing to prove, even if it is a pile of ordinary stones (Maifan stones), which are extremely useful and good. ~
Under Shuyun's fiery gaze, although Lao Kang vaguely felt that there was a problem, Chrysostom said that it was really difficult to regret it in the face of his own woman.
I nodded approvingly. immediately called Li Dequan and told him to go back to the palace to get it.
Shuyun also repeatedly instructed Li Dequan to bring everything that was not left behind.
Listening to Shuyun's resolute words, he was bound to be greedy. Now Kangxi is even more entangled. The possibility of feeling that you have done something stupid is further strengthened.
Lao Kang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, smiled at Shuyun, and said timidly: "Is this thing useful?" ”
